This week we reached an important milestone 500 members, and this happened in just over 5 months since this group inception.

I’m very impressed and I think this is a great start for our group initiatives.

This would have not been possible without our members involvement and initiatives. I only hope we can grow this community further and inspire as many people as possible to get started and contribute to GTA (and beyond) robotics hubs (clusters) for robotics education, DIY, and industry.

Robotics knowledge becomes more important every day and the domain grows very fast and continuously.

Going forward our next event is on Oct 13, this is a great opportunity to see how students are building robots for competitions and learn from their experience, also a great way to learn how we can contribute and help the teams in our areas:

Robotics Competitions in high schools and universities – FRC, URC

What a better way to learn robotics than looking at how young people are doing it while competing.In this series we will talk about and see robots built for high-school and university competitions, advanced robots with a important purpose.We as a robotics community group we can engage (as volunteers or sponsors) in these activities to inspire and…

Recently I read a great article on RoboHub, about how Danish Robotics Clusters have helped Denmark excel in robotics, would be amazing if we could bridge robotics education (schools), industry (robotics and related) and DIY robotics communities to achieve part of what they did, a great example to follow:

"Generosity is a mental health principle: it is therapeutic." Our events are the effect of people generosity! I hope we reach Danish levels! https://t.co/5XYVN8BcKC

Another great initiative is from Udacity, regarding their Self Driving Cars opensource project, courses and naondegree, they released this week a machine learning dataset and since then their Slack team membership grew to over 4500 people interested in getting the nanodegree or in machine learning and robotics in general:

The chance of a lifetime

That would be today.

And every day, if you’re up for it.

The things that change our lives (and the lives of others) are rarely the long-scheduled events, the much-practiced speeches or the annual gala. No, it’s almost certain that the next chance you have to leap will come out of nowhere in particular, and you’ll discover it because you’re ready for it.

Someone to inspire, to connect with, to lead. A system to transform. An idea to share. Responsibility is often just lying around, waiting for someone to take it.
